I'm so happy that someone had came up with a way to consolidate the YouTube videos we want and display them in a user friendly way, without having to update the html codes.I was quite tired of having the links to some of the YouTube videos that I posted here leading to videos that no londer exist. It took me time and effort to search for those videos and now some of them have 'disappeared',

I realise that a couple of the YouTube videos that I had painstakingly sought and posted here have 'disappeared'. The videos were removed by their respective YouTube users for whatever reasons. I personally view these consolidated videos here for my own entertainment too. I wish that there is way to gather a list of selected YouTube videos where the videos can be replaced by a similar updated

I've been downsizing my personal My Little Pony collection, for about 6 months already. However the monthly departure of my ponies during this period did not seem to have caused a 'dent' in my large collection of close to 800 ponies, from all 3 generations.Collecting toys is very much easier than passing them on to other collectors. There are some extra steps involved in 'exporting', compared to

It's already 5 days into the new year of 2008 and my new daily blog at Toy Collecting Tips is already a month old! Toy Collecting Tips has taken much of my attention away from "Talk About Toys" for the moment because of the steep learning curve involved in managing that self-hosted blog. However, that does not mean that I will shut down "Talk About Toys". Instead, I will continue it and find a

Upon opening the drawer, the newborns and newborn twins mostly stared upward in wide-eyed wonder at their beholder. They are such a joy to look at and so cute too! We wish for them to find good loving homes, perhaps by this Christmas and let them bring happiness to their new adoptive moms and dads.They had lived many memorable years together with one another in this drawer and now the time has

Front view It was a delightful surprise to find this box set of Transformers mini figures over the weekend in Singapore. They are supposedly exclusive to the TRU here. There was even a special signage put up near the toys saying "no traders allowed, each customer is limited to 2 boxes only".These mini figures also came out in the stores as single packs in Singapore in June/July 2007 to coincide

While doing a search for She-Ra commercials, we came across this interesting commercial for the Wonder Woman dolls, based on the hit 1970's TV series with Linda Carter in the leading role.The dolls featured looked quite cool for that era!

We wonder when will Hasbro not keep re-releasing repeat G3 MLP characters. It makes collectors excited for a while, only to be disappointed that they are repeat characters. However, it is good for collectors who missed out on the earlier versions of certain pony characters or earlier versions that were not made in preferred poses.http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=132380.htmlNonetheless,

This link was picked up from My Little Pony Arena (MLP Arena)!The commercial was not shown on tv here in Singapore during the 80's and this playset wasn't sold here then. The G1 ponies look very appealing in it, even though the ponies featured were not in the best pony poses ever made.Nevertheless, thanks to the rise of YouTube, now we can easily share such lovely videos that evoke so much
